The narcotics were intercepted in Narino, a region on the coast of Colombia, bordering Ecuador, the Navy said. They did not say how many people were arrested or that they thought they were dragged away in a semi-poor place.
Officials said 3,000 kilograms of cocaine were occupied at sea, while 270 kilograms of cocaine were excavated from buried hiding places.
A Navy spokesman said: “The National Navy reaffirmed its commitment to the fight against drug trafficking and will continue to carry out large-scale operations against organized armed groups.”

Authorities say some of the drugs were stopped after naval ships chased a “suspicious ship” and three people were arrested. The value of these drugs is estimated to be $97 million.
Narco Sub is usually very low on the sea, but cannot flow completely underwater. They are popular among international drug traffickers because they can often be avoided by authorities.
